DANGER AHEAD FOR MARINERS. 1 A Ris Raft Gets AdrIft and is New Right in the Path of Shipping. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The breaking adrift of the great raft of timber from Nova Scotia has caused consternation among mariners. The raft is now a dangerous obstruction in the track of vessels approaching New York or Philadelphia and the superintendent ot
 the Maritime exchange has asked the Secre- tary of the Navy to order 8 naval vessel to
 cruise in the vicinity of latitude 4O.16 north, longitude 70. 06 west, where the raft broke away, to warn vessels approaching from the east. It cost $50, ,000 to construct and tow the raft and the timber, twenty-seven thou sand logs CT five hundred thousand feet, was valued at $150, ,000. It was owned by syn dicate represented by J. D. Leary of this city. An officer of the steamer Miranda which had the raft in tow, says: "The raft was cigar shaped and thirty-six feet in diameter. It was over six hundred feet long, ,foated fifteen feet out of water and twenty-one feet under water. We took the thing in tow with big fifteen-inch and ten-inch hawser, both hemp en. Coming down the bay of F'undy we made about five knots progress against the strong tide and everything started of well. But before we got clear of the bay of Fundy it came on to blow and got steadily worse every day right in our teeth so that we could hardly make any progress at all We had heightened out the haWsers and tried to make the strain easy with the raft $40 feet behind us. But last Sunday morning when off Nantucket shoals terrific gale was blowing and shortly after daylight the big hawser broke with tremendous snap. The ship was steaming at half speed and went ahead immediately, the result be- ing that the small hawser tore the bits to which it was fastened clear of the deck and the whole thing was left behind It was inn possible to make an effort to pick it up. The last we saw of the raft it was about sixty miles from Block Island and drifting South. Only a few small logs had come out of it and it seemed to be strong enough to hold together forever. It is right in the track of shipping and one touch of it would be worse to any vessel than striking rock. We were to have brought it through Long Island Sound and showed it into cove just above Hell Gate, where it would have been broken up and sawed for shipbuilding or anything else"

 PARIS, Dec. 20-The Duke of Norfolk, who went to Rome to convey to the Pope the con- gratulations of Queen Victoria on his jubilee, has left that city, curtailing his visit, 50 the Gaulois asserts, because of the absolute re- fusal of the Pope to further interfere in the relations between the Irish clergy and the people: Mons. Rampolla, the papal secre- tary, the paper says, informed the duke that the Pope had already used his influence with the clergy, but could not ask the priests to cease to be patriots without running the risk of causing the rebellion of 8 section of the clergy and the loss of the hold of the church upon the people.
